.. Set up some character translations and predefined strings. \*(-- will
give an unbreakable dash, \*(PI will give pi, \*(L" will give a left
double quote, and \*(R" will give a right double quote. \*(C+ will
give a nicer C++. Capital omega is used to do unbreakable dashes and
therefore won't be available. \*(C` and \*(C' expand to `' in nroff,
nothing in troff, for use with C<>.

Escape single quotes in literal strings from groff's Unicode transform.

If the F register is >0, we'll generate index entries on stderr for
titles (.TH), headers (.SH), subsections (.SS), items (.Ip), and index
entries marked with X<> in POD. Of course, you'll have to process the
output yourself in some meaningful fashion.

Avoid warning from groff about undefined register 'F'.

Title "SMIME_READ_PKCS7 3" For nroff, turn off justification. Always turn off hyphenation; it makes
way too many mistakes in technical documents.
SMIME_read_PKCS7 - parse S/MIME message Header "SYNOPSIS" .Vb 1 #include <openssl/pkcs7.h> \& PKCS7 *SMIME_read_PKCS7(BIO *in, BIO **bcont); .Ve Header "DESCRIPTION" \fBSMIME_read_PKCS7() parses a message in S/MIME format.

\fBin is a \s-1BIO\s0 to read the message from.

If cleartext signing is used then the content is saved in a memory bio which is written to *bcont, otherwise \fB*bcont is set to \s-1NULL\s0.

The parsed PKCS#7 structure is returned or \s-1NULL\s0 if an error occurred.

Header "NOTES" If *bcont is not \s-1NULL\s0 then the message is clear text signed. *bcont can then be passed to PKCS7_verify() with the \s-1PKCS7_DETACHED\s0 flag set.

Otherwise the type of the returned structure can be determined using PKCS7_type_is_enveloped(), etc.

To support future functionality if bcont is not \s-1NULL\s0 \fB*bcont should be initialized to \s-1NULL\s0. For example:

.Vb 2 BIO *cont = NULL; PKCS7 *p7; \& p7 = SMIME_read_PKCS7(in, &cont); .Ve

Header "BUGS" The \s-1MIME\s0 parser used by SMIME_read_PKCS7() is somewhat primitive. While it will handle most S/MIME messages more complex compound formats may not work.

The parser assumes that the \s-1PKCS7\s0 structure is always base64 encoded and will not handle the case where it is in binary format or uses quoted printable format.

The use of a memory \s-1BIO\s0 to hold the signed content limits the size of message which can be processed due to memory restraints: a streaming single pass option should be available.

Header "RETURN VALUES" \fBSMIME_read_PKCS7() returns a valid \s-1PKCS7\s0 structure or \s-1NULL\s0 if an error occurred. The error can be obtained from ERR_get_error\|(3).
